THE DEAD SHALL RISE FROM THEIR GRAVES
Does anyone else find it deliciously subversive that "Dawn of the Dead" -- about people who rise from death to wreak havoc -- has overtaken "The Passion of the Christ" -- about people wreaking havoc so that someone could rise from death -- as the #1 movie at the box office?
And how come when zombies do it they're bad, but when Jesus does it he's good? I mean, wouldn't people have been kinda creeped out to see him walking down the side of the road too? So if you eat other people's bodies, you're bad... but when other people eat your body, it's good? The amusing (not to mention sacreligous) possibilities are endless.
For those of you who are about to be offended... lighten up. God invented humor too. And for your information, he is not going to send me to hell for making zombie jokes when a horror movie overtakes The Passion at the box office. No... he's sending me to hell because I support a woman's right to choose and the right of homosexuals to get married. Don't you guys listen to the Christian Right?! Come on, people, get with it! The movie jokes have nothing to do with it! It's because I'm a liberal!
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm bad.
